Actually most retire early to avoid paying whacking great tax bill as their pension fund exceeds the Lifetime Allowance, just over £1million. (System changed April ‘24 but same result). Then they work shifts as locums, or in private sector. Earning earning earning ….
Still chuffed to bits with this #writerslift #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity
Huge 🙏 to *Scott Mariani* for his generous praise for CUT AND RUN👇 'A gripping, compellingly twisty crime thriller where nobody can be trusted and nothing is what it seems – it had me turning the pages and looking ahead to Champion’s next case!' @SMarianiauthor @SharpeBooks

Two lovely reviews of THE ART OF A LIE in the FT and the Daily Mail 📗🍍🍦
Wow - I suppose we are heading into the silly season but @BBCPM is sounding like a lightweight Saturday morning show - the cherry chat has been going on for a long time. Please…. This is taking banality too far.
This ought to provoke some thinking about the state of business and what had emerged as the ugly face of capitalism today — though as @GusCarter says it’s not all PE that’s to blame…. The problem is that it’s been going on for a long time now…. spectator.co.uk/article/how-pr…
What a story!
Huge thanks @WhittyAuthor for great chat last weekend at #TheakstonsCrimeFestival @HarrogateFest. Here's today's Sunday @Daily_Express interview with @joncoates73 and myself... what a story! express.co.uk/entertainment/…
Boom Time, my concise history of the crime explosion in WW2 London, based on the @AspectsHistory podcast series, is out now. Readers/Reviewers say: ‘Fascinating..a hair-raising collection of true crime stories..a fabulous read..eye-opening’. ⬇️⬇️ amazon.co.uk/Boom-Time-True…
Woop-woop… this is what’s happening tonight! @charingcrossthr
I’ve written about the power of Pulp’s single Common People and the album, Diffferent Class for @spectator - the song and album that defined the decade…. spectator.co.uk/article/forget…
Politics meets Smash Hits, without irony. Alas, despite good intentions, votes for 16-year-olds is a very bad idea. Too young, too easy to manipulate (just look at the rest of us) and too new. We must protect our democracy, or debase it.
We promised it. We're delivering it. Like we said we would.
Delighted to say that completed the second draft of my latest novel at 3am this morning. 🌅 why does it have to be this way? #writerscommunity #writerslift
Well done to @BBCr4today and @amolrajan on a moving segment and interview this morning at 07.55 on youth issues and the project to provide adult male role models for boys. Give it a listen if you missed it…. There’s more here - bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
22 July 1918, Lt Indra Lal Roy, RAF, died, aged 19. Sole Indian #WW1 flying ace with 10 aerial victories in just 13 days! Buried Estevelles Communal Cemetery. Personal inscription, ‘he died for the ideals he loved’. Born Calcutta. Educated @StPaulsSchool. First Indian to get DFC.
As it's the first day of the school summer holidays I thought I would start a campaign -- let's shorten them by a fortnight.... something I've written for @spectator #SchoolHolidays spectator.co.uk/article/slash-…
